BEN FREDERICK inclinees toward
the gubernatorial nomination on the
democratic ticket. Ben was vacil-
lating on the interstate commerce
question and finally voted against
the bill, record he will have cause
to regret should he secure the COW
eted nomination. But when the
democrats are through considering
Frederick, Lehman, Richardson,
Murphy, ct al, they will wheel in
line and nominate Whiting with a
dull thud.

FLORAL HALL.-Late in the sea.
son last year plans were secured and
approved for floral hall on the fair
grounds. n number of business
men expressed their willingness to
subscribe literally to fund for its
erection, when it was learned that
there was not time to complete it
before the fall exhibition. We
would suggest that if such an inn
provement is contemplated this year
it is time steps were taken in that
direction. The building is certainly
badly needed, and we believe that
with slight effort sufficient funds
could be secured. The old hall was
so badly crowded last year that it
was impossible to properly display
exhibits, and it is in such condition
that people will not trust fine arti-
cles to its protection, thus depriving
the fair of choice attractions. We
hope some action will be taken soon.

Shippers are learning the advant-
ages ofquick transportation by recent
experiences. During the time Of
transportation under the old sched-
ule cattle shipped to Chicago lost
from fifty to one hundred pounds
per head, but quick transportation
melted by competition in service has
greatly reduced the Shrlnkage, and
made a saving that more than COM
pensates for the increased cost of
transportation. John Norris weighed
his three car loads of cattle on his
farm scales just before starting, and
their weight on arriving in Chicago
showed that there had been shrink
age OF but eleven pounds per head,
minimum unheard of in stock
shipping. We have not heard OF
any other shipper who weighed his
stock before starting, but all are
we'll pleased with the excellent SER
vice and courteous treatment they
received from the Northwestern
company.

a PALPABLE SWINDLE.

German Citizens Being SwfndIed by 30
gus Lottery Scheme PurportinG to Have
the Official Sanction OF the German
Government.
C"ICAGO, April 21.-A local paper says:
One of the most impudent and bare-faced
lottery schemes ever devised is now be-
ing operated throughout the United
States This swindle is mainly designed
for victimiZing the GcrInan-speaklng con-
tingenu in the large cities, and has al
ready achieved a tolerf BILE measure of
success. The modus operandi is quite
simple, as will be seen by the following
account:
A concern styling itself 'tMessrs. Thiele
& Co., Bankers, Hamburg, Germany"
THROUGH an agent in Baltimore, Nd, has
flooded the country with letters addressed
to German residents of all large cities.
These letters contain a double-sheet cir
cular, twelve inches by eight, printed in
Germ an an English. This circular gives
a glowing description of the 1.-TWO Hun
dred and Ninety-second German Govern
ment Lottery of the City of Ham burg
1t outlines the scheme of the lottery, he
prizes ranging in the different series
from 10000 to 100000 marks.
They announce that On each ticket,
to insure genuineness, will be printed The
Governm emit coat of arms. Enclosure No.
is a small obIong slip, printed as fol-
means OF an American Express Company's
money order, which must be made pay
able at II mburg, Germany, by the COM
pany's agent residing at your place of
living You will please send the order in
a registered letter." After making the
American Express Company their acc~ed-
tied agents in number of large cities
they forward Enclosure No. g. which is an
envelope with their Hamburg address.
Baron Won Nordenhycht, the German
Consul, who was seen regarding the mat
ter said: "This is one of the most
paipable swindles have ever had brought
to nv notice. There is no such lottery as
the German Government Lottery To
speak more forcibly, the government OF
the Germ IN Empire has no connection or
control of any lottery or premium enter
prise whatever This is not only fraud,
but an insult to the government repre-
sent / presume the express company
will stop the issuing of money orders
when the swipdle is exposed. but VIII
also send them an official notification II

Danenhower was an acute sufferer from
